Welcome to Su's Corner
May 9, 2023
Last month I had the opportunity to attend my circuit LWMS (Lutheran Women’s Missionary Society) Spring Rally in Hiram, GA. Imagine my delight when I was able to meet a group of quilters who have made and donated many quilts over the years to Comforter Ministry. They are members of our WELS congregation in Covington, GA. I have corresponded with them over the years but never had the blessing of meeting them face to face. They continue to make and donate quilts to
CM.
Thank you, Jesus, for their servant’s heart and their Christian friendship!
Theme for the Month - EQUIPPED WITH THE ARMOR OF GOD
by Christopher M. Kennedy
BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS
And having put on the breastplate of righteousness. Ephesians 6:14
It is the truth above all truths: salvation is all about Jesus. Our relief from guilt comes from a Savior who suffered in our place. Our righteousness is found in Christ alone. God invites us to put on the breastplate of righteousness so that we can find comfort in Jesus. Understanding even our best efforts don’t measure up to God’s high standards, we rely on the righteousness of Jesus. Anything less is self-deception.
The good news is that we are forgiven. In Jesus, there is full and free forgiveness and that is the basis for our righteousness.
God’s gracious gift is at the heart of the Christian faith: “the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe” (Romans 3:22). God places this gift over our hearts with his armor.
WE LEAVE NO GAPS FOR SATAN’S ATTACKS TO PENETRATE TO OUR HEARTS. INSTEAD, WE REMEMBER THAT WE ARE RIGHTEOUS IN CHRIST ALONE. WHAT WE COULD NOT DO FOR OURSELVES, HE HAS DONE FOR US. GOD’S ARMOR HELPS US TO LEAVE THE PAST IN THE PAST AND TO LOOK AHEAD WITH HOPE AND JOY.
Jesus my Righteousness, I am blessed beyond measure to be fitted with a breastplate of your righteousness. In faith, I know my sins, past and present, are forgiven through your suffering, death, and resurrection. Knowing your righteousness protects my heart against Satan’s lies and schemes, brings me the comfort only you can provide. I thank you for this gracious gift. Amen.
WRITING AND PRESENTATION NEWS...
Once again, I had the privilege of writing a short article for the June issue of Monthly Notes, an LWMS quarterly newsletter. CONNECTIONS is the theme of the article. If you don’t already receive info from LWMS you can go to their web site at lwms.org and sign up to receive emails from them. I believe that is all you really need to
do. I hope you enjoy the CONNECTIONS article :)
PRAYER IN ALL SEASONS is a NEW presentation I have begun to work on.
My prayer is that I will be able to begin offering this timely presentation by Autumn 2023.
WATCH FOR MORE INFORMATION IN UPCOMING POSTINGS!
COMFORT AND JOY IN ALL SEASONS
The feedback I have received has been extremely encouraging and helped me realize there really is a need for women of all seasons to be reminded of how the comfort and joy won for them by Jesus truly does affect every season of life whether you are speaking of seasons as times of joy or sorrow, winter or summer, young mother or empty-nester and every other type of season.
Please think of COMFORT AND JOY IN ALL SEASONS when making
plans for a future women's event and contact me :)
